The manufacturing of wooden furniture is extensive in Thailand's east. Hazardous chemicals were used in the wooden furniture industry's manufacturing process. Hazardous substances released into the surrounding atmosphere appear to have an impact on the environment and individuals. The ALOHA model is frequently used to assess hazardous chemicals released into the environment; this simulation model is an effective tool for modeling chemical compounds and detecting chemical disasters. It has a tremendous potential for preventing mishaps in potentially hazardous or emergency situations. Acetone and butyl acetate were extracted from the hardwood furniture business to identify accidents such as leaking, spillage, and evaporation. It is described as a highly poisonous, combustible, and explosive material. Toxic accident releases have negative implications for the surrounding areas. The goal of this work was to examine each accident using ALOHA software, and the computation of acetone and butyl acetate accidents was shown in this study. This project provides critical data for the furniture plant's chemical emergency rescue strategy as well as recommendations for emergency evacuation site decision-making.
